The Substance Use and Psychological Injury Combat Study (SUPIC) will examine whether early detection and intervention for post-deployment problems among Army Active Duty and National Guard/Reservists returning from Iraq or Afghanistan are associated with improved long-term substance use and psychological outcomes. This paper describes the rationale and significance of SUPIC, and presents demographic and deployment characteristics of the study sample (N = 643,205), and self-reported alcohol use and health problems from the subsample with matched post-deployment health assessments (N = 487,600). This longitudinal study aims to provide new insight into the long-term post-deployment outcomes of Army members by combining service member data from the Military Health System and Veterans Health Administration.
物质使用和心理伤害防治研究（SUPIC）将研究在伊拉克或阿富汗部署归来的现役陆军和国民警卫队/后备役军人中早期发现和干预部署后问题是否与改善长期物质使用和心理结果有关。本文描述了 SUPIC 的基本原理和意义，并介绍了研究样本的人口统计学和部署特征（N=643205），以及来自具有匹配部署后健康评估的亚样本的自我报告的酒精使用和健康问题（N=487600）。这项纵向研究旨在通过结合来自军人健康系统和退伍军人健康管理局的军人数据，为了解陆军成员的长期部署后结果提供新的见解。
